Get started for freeLet \(T=W / \sqrt{V / r}\), where the independent variables \(W\) and \(V\) are, respectively, normal with mean zero and variance 1 and chi-square with \(r\) degrees of freedom. Show that \(T^{2}\) has an \(F\) -distribution with parameters \(r_{1}=1\) and \(r_{2}=r\). Hint: What is the distribution of the numerator of \(T^{2} ?\)
If \(X\) is \(\chi^{2}(5)\), determine the constants \(c\) and \(d\) so that
\(P(c
Compute the measures of skewness and kurtosis of the Poisson distribution with mean \(\mu\).
Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, X_{3}\) be iid random variables each having a standard normal distribution. Let the random variables \(Y_{1}, Y_{2}, Y_{3}\) be defined by $$ X_{1}=Y_{1} \cos Y_{2} \sin Y_{3}, \quad X_{2}=Y_{1} \sin Y_{2} \sin Y_{3}, \quad X_{3}=Y_{1} \cos Y_{3} $$ where \(0 \leq Y_{1}<\infty, 0 \leq Y_{2}<2 \pi, 0 \leq Y_{3} \leq \pi .\) Show that \(Y_{1}, Y_{2}, Y_{3}\) are mutually independent.
Show that the graph of a pdf \(N\left(\mu, \sigma^{2}\right)\) has points of inflection at \(x=\mu-\sigma\) and \(x=\mu+\sigma\).
